Burning in the Bosom

  1. A warm, inner feeling understood as the Holy Ghost confirming that something is true.

Drawn from a Doctrine and Covenants passage, the phrase describes a common way Latter-day Saints receive spiritual confirmation, alongside other feelings of peace and clarity. Members are also taught that revelation comes as thoughts to the mind, not only feelings.
